I think you can use home kit ones locally… which really broadens your options

Strictly speaking, does the law say he can’t run, or can’t be elected again?

I grew up in the far north, winters were very long and very dark. Every kids jacket had prominent reflective materials.

I still look for that when I get a winter jacket.

Why would it?

This pattern has existed since before Trump in that district. Leans right at federal level, leans left at state level.

Assumption is slowly sliding more right at the federal level… but also sliding more right at the state level. At 38% of the vote Daigle had the best republican showing in 20 years.

This result isn’t a directional divergence. That would maybe raise an eyebrow.

For iberville and assumption, in the presidential elections, support between R and D has moved within bounds of like, 2%, for the last 3 presidential elections.

In that same time frame, the maximum support a republican candidate for the 60th house of representatives has been 18.8%. Not margin, TOTAL.

Don’t get me wrong. It’s not bad news. But the reality of this outcome in this district is “No material shift in voting patterns in area over the last 20 years”.

Take the wins where you can get them, but it’s worth noting the vacated seat was held by a Democrat. This isn’t a flip. The district traditionally learns blue at the local/state level, as per the article.

Not trying to rain on anyone’s parade, but the “oh my god those backwards Louisiana hicks actually voted for a Democrat?!” Narrative is needlessly divisive and kinda shitty. That district has been for years.

Yeah. You vibe with the OT but not so much with the NT?

That’s fine. Just be Jewish.

Because I don’t understand correlation vs causation, I can only conclude that the monetization of X caused a steep decline in knife violence

Couldn’t install iTunes because my clock was wrong. That certainly wasn’t the ERROR I was presented with, but was ultimately the root cause.

That, coincidentally, was the very same evening that I decided to and did uninstall windows on that machine.

You probably didn’t expect that comment to make me feel so old.

Yeah, that “EAT_ROADKILL” fellow is far too serious.

The Weezer pork and beans video was actually fucking sweet

Ok

I think you’re missing what this is. They’re not adding sponsor segments.

They’re scanning the video, establishing where “free visual space” is, and then embedding advertising into that space. It becomes part of the video, not an intermission. You don’t cut a “time segment” to remove it, you have to cut a “space segment” to remove it. And then what do you fill it with?

There are certainly ways to mitigate it, but they’re not great.

I think it’s great to have at least one person thinking about these things.

I can’t deny that her urge to decorate does make the house look better. It makes me happy.

I just don’t think she can comprehend the absolute vacuum in my brain where “home anesthetics” should be.

I had a similar conversation with my wife about table cloth length.

She just kept pushing it: “what do you think about a table cloth that’s longer?” “What if it was shorter?” “What if it was longer one direction than another direction?”

My love, I don’t think about table cloths. No part of my brain is equipped to evaluate hypothetical cloths in a way that would be realistically beneficial to the conversation.

To me it sounds like you’re advocating for “tipping” public servants.
